From the Terrifying 25 to the Twin Barns
After our epic adventure climbing up ladders and down into bolder tunnels during our climb of Mts Morgan & Percival, we headed off to nearby Meredith, NH for Twin Barns Brewing. Not only had we knocked two off the 52 peaks with-a-view list, but also the harrowing Terrifying 25.
After such a fun hike, we were ready for some brews with food. Funny enough, this was our second attempt at visiting Twin Barns. The first time was earlier in the year after we did a grand tour of the Belknap Range. Unfortunately, the beer garden had just closed just as we arrived despite the unseasonably warm weather. This time however, the beer garden was not only open, but buzzing with activity.
In the Beer Garden
After we arrived, we claimed a picnic table in the beer garden in the shelter of a tent. We went to the outdoor bar and ordered a round of Sandbar Blonde while we looked through the food menu.
Soon we decided upon an eclectic selection of soft pretzels, a flatbread pizza, BBQ pulled pork mac and cheese and a salad and headed inside to place our order. Inside we were greeted with the rustic interior of the barn, featuring high ceilings and plenty of woodwork.
In the meantime, we enjoyed the brewery grounds, particularly watching one tense match of giant Jenga. After a second round of brews our food was ready to collect.
Each one of our selections was a solid choice and were hitting all the notes. Except for the salad, which while good, was hard to split and something we could have done without.
Before we headed out, I picked myself up some cans to go and a new t-shirt for my wardrobe (which consists mostly of brewery shirts at this point).
Final Verdict
Twin Barn offers a fantastic outdoor space, solid brews and some pretty great menu options. It is a perfect stop after exploring the Lakes Region – be that hiking, water-sports, or strolling through the charming town of Meredith.

Hiking Mt Potash in New Hampshire
Nothing beats the quiet serene beauty of being at the summit on a peak in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. While we like epic hikes, we also like shorter ones where we can be at the peak in under a few hours and be back at the car before noon. Join us as we hike Mt Potash in the White Mountain National Forest, and stop by a local coffee shop inside an old bank afterwards.
Blueberry Wishes and Pipe Dreams
It is 7:30 am and I’ve arrived in Ferncroft, NH for my day of peakbagging Mt Whiteface and Mt Passaconway. Unlike the other trailheads I’ve been to that typically start at the side of a road or at a campsite, the Blueberry Ledge trail had me cut through private drives - don’t worry, trespassing hikers were welcomed. The Blueberry Ridge trail is part of the “Terrifying 25” - or 25...
